Delighted to announce that my furry family has increased with the arrival of :chin2: Pucutu whose name means "thick mist". She's (at present) a quiet, placid little girl of 12 weeks. Content to be handled as long as she's snuggled close. :chin1: Tikiri whose name means "makes music and dances"...

Ok, it's 2:30am in England and I have an early start in the morning, but instead of sleeping peacefully I'm awake fretting about having everything just right for my new arrival.:unsure::read::confused3: What do I stuff the fleece that covers the metal base pan with? How much headroom is needed...

I've read that Chinchilla's should be housed so that they are part of the family, but also that they require peace and quiet for sleeping. Before my kits come I want to resolve potential problems like this one. I live alone(ish), I have visiting Support Workers but no children. I share my home...

Hi, Just found this site :~) I live in Rainham, Kent and share my home with my DID/MPD community, 3 aged 3 Ragdoll/Siamese X siblings, 1 aged 2 Red Tabby, 1x 10 week old hamster. I have been researching for a couple of months to decide whether or not I was the right person for two Chinchillas...
